SCHOOLS across Leicestershire schools were closed yesterday after the weekend’s heavy snow and some schools are closed for a second day today (Tuesday, December 12), although the majority seem to be planning to open.

A yellow weather warning is still in place for Loughborough until 11am today, with the Met Office warning that ice is expected to have formed on some surfaces overnight and into this morning.

A spokesman said: “There will probably be icy stretches on untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths with some injuries possible from slips and falls.”
